Discrepancies in the amount of funds
available to Student Government have
surfaced, with some of those statements
being accompained by allegations of
fiscal misconduct in Student Govern
ment. Financial statements provided by Cam
pus Governing Council Speaker Reggie
Holley and CGC Finance Committee
Chairperson Sherri Watson show that
Student Government has only $5,728
available for use. Meanwhile, Student
Body Treasurer Burke Mewborne said he
believed there was close to $21,000
available.

Gilmore stamps across
state in gubernatorial bid
Seventh in a series on candidates for
governor.
By CHRISTINE MANUEL
Special to the 'DTH'
Tom Gilmore is looking for a steady
job. Since June 1983, he's been a brick
layer, a worker in a zipper factory, a
health care assistant, a feed mill operator
and a junior high school teacher.
But Gilmore doesn't want any of those
jobs.
He wants to be governor.

nomination for
governor,
Gilmore, 46, hopes
to work at 84 dif
ferent jobs
throughout the
state to learn first

and concerns of'
North Carolinians.
Tom Gilmore
Gilmore said his workdays were part of
a unique grassroots campaign a cam
paign that recently picked up momentum
with the endorsements of the N.C.
Association of Educators and the state
AFL-CIO.
"That's a big chunk of votes,"
Gilmore said of the two organizations.
The AFL-CIO has 145,000 members
statewide, while about 52,000 teachers are
in the NCAE. Gilmore said the endorse
ments gave his campaign more credibility
and helped raise money.
Although Gilmore generally rates fifth
or sixth in the crowded governor's race
according to statewide public opinion
polls, he doesn't think the polls hurt his
momentum. (Gilmore is at 4.2 percent in
the UNC School of Journalism's
Carolina Poll and at 4 percent in The
Charlotte Observer Poll.) "The only poll
that counts is Tuesday, May 8," the day
of the state primary, Gilmore said.
Gilmore compared his poll standing to
presidential candidate Gary Hart's low
figures one month ago. Hart was once
around 4 percent in the polls and now is
the top contender, Gilmore said. He
estimated that 60 percent of his campaign
now is based on name recognition and
that his standings would" rise once his

The reason for the discrepancy,
Mewborne said, is that there is a dif
ference in his accounting procedures and
the procedures used by the Student Ac
tivities Fund Office.
In a telephone interview Monday
night, Mewborne said he wants to com
pare his records with SAFO. "1 don't
want to confirm $5,700, because I want
to look at SAFO's records myself," he
said.
Both of the figures, however, are well
below the minimum amount set for Stu

and radio advertisements this week.
Former N.C. Commerce Secretary
D.M. "Lauch" Faircloth was lower than
Gilmore in the polls before Faircloth
began running his ads on television,
Gilmore said. Faircloth now stands third
at about 13 percent.
"He's trying to buy the governor's of
fice," Gilmore said of Faircloth. "It
should not go to the wealthiest candidate.
We must look at the issues and (can
didates') qualifications."
As for Gilmore's qualifications, his ex
perience in state government is varied. He
served in the N.C. House of Represen
tatives from Guilford County before ser
ving under Gov. Jim Hunt as deputy
secretary in the NiC. Department of
Human Resources from 1979-81. In 1982,
he served as campaign manager for U.S.
Rep. Robin Britt of Guilford County.
As governor, Gilmore said he would
make education and jobs his top
priorities.
"It's time we quit studying education
and start solving (its problems)," he said.
Gilmore opposes merit pay for teachers
and any extension of the school day or
school year. Instead he supports raising
the base pay of all teachers and making
better use of school time and equipment.
"Something is wrong with a society
that pays a truck driver more than a
teacher," he said. North Carolina must
prepareyfor its future, he said. "The best
way to measure the greatness of a state ;..
is by the concern of one generation for
the next."
About 500,000 North Carolinians are
illiterate, he said, adding that he feared
"this generation could be less educated
than the previous."
Gilmore, president and co-owner of
Gilmore Plant and Bulb Co. in Julian,
wants to bring more jobs to the state by
broadening and improving education.
"We need a highly skilled labor pool to
attract firms to the state," he said, em
phasizing a need for more high
technology firms.
Hunt has made improvements, but
more work is needed, Gilmore said. .

Democratic nomination, only Gilmore

The CGC can exempt any of the
Treasury Laws; however, such a move
has not been formally made by the Coun
cil. "SAFO doesn't divide the executive
branch from all of Student
Government," Mewborne said. "It's not
bad, it's just the way the accounting
works."
Mewborne said there are other funds
available that he doesn't think are listed
in the SAFO records. SAFO records list
as two areas of assets cash and trust-fund
investments. Mewborne is including what
he calls a General Reserve fund that he
says holds $8,000 in past student fees and
a $10,000 loan to The Daily Tar Heel,

Alcohol consumption
By VANCE TREFETHEN
' Business Editor
During the 1970s, alcoholic beverage
producers, distributors and retailers en
joyed steady or increasing demand for
their products. But in the 1980s, beer,
wine, and liquor producers are sobering
up to some new marketing realities
even in Chapel Hill, the self-proclaimed
"Beer Drinking Capital of the World."
For years, heavy drinking was
something that was either joked about or
ignored as a national problem. Drinking
was fashionable . and being a teetotaler

which will be paid back to Student

Holley said a copy of the current finan
cial situation of Student Government, ac
cording to SAFO, shows that Student
Government has . $27,141.17 in total
assets, and $21,412.19 in total liabilities,
giving a difference of $5,728.98. He said
there were no other funds.
The amount went under $40,000 dur

the losses came in on the Carolina Con

was considered odd. But public concern
about drunk driving, health and fitness,
underage drinking, and alcoholism have
caused a widespread reshaping of public
attitudes toward alcohol. .
Nationwide, the change has resulted in
a decline in per capita consumption of
alcoholic beverages. The Wall Street
Journal reports that beer consumption,
after increasing rapidly in the 1970s, has
leveled off since 1981. Liquor consump
tion, after a slight increase in the 1970s,
has been slowly declining since 1978.

there was so little money available in the
fund, which is where student fees go and

allocations made by the CGC.
"I feel those who aren't familiar with
Student Government don't realize how
badly we need an increase," Holley said,
referring to the Student Activities Fee.
"However, I think some people on last
year's council thought, 'How do you get
a fee increase? Deplete your funds. I
think their point was made."
If the amounts supported by Watson
and Holley are correct, it could be a lean

counting on student fees.
"We will have to cut," Watson said.
Studen t TV loan may
he withdrawn by CGC
By JIM ZOOK
Staff ynier
Student Television's $22,000 loan from
Student Government could be withdrawn
because the loan was not legally approved
by the Campus Governing Council, said
Patricia Wallace, chairperson of the
C?GC's Rules and Judiciary Committee.
"The loan can be canceled," she said.
"That's the way I would interpret it since
the action (to approve the loan) was il
legal in the first place."
According to Section 4 of BF-62-51 of
the Treasury Laws, any student organiza
tion seeking funds from Student Govern
ment must submit a constitution for ap
proval by the Rules and Judiciary Com
mittee.. No funds may be given to any
organization without approval, the laws
state.
Although STV's constitution was ap
proved by Donald Boulton, vice
chancellor for student affairs, it was not
approved by the Rules and Judiciary
Committee at the time the loan was
granted. -
The Rules and Judiciary Committee is
meeting Wednesday night, and one of the
issues on the agenda will be the STV con
stitution. Reggie Holley, CGC speaker and
chairman of. "the IRules and Judiciary
Committee when the STV loan was ap
proved, explained what happened and
took' full responsibility for the situation.
"As chairperson Of the R&J Commit
tee at that time, I was presented their con
stitution by John Wilson (co-president of
STV)," Holley said. "I told him I
thought it was great, and returned it to
him.

increased significantly since then.
But what does all this mean in a town
like Chapel Hill, with its reputation as a
partying, heavy-drinking town?
"Our sales have decreased," said Mike
Gallagher, manager of Top of the Hill
store in Chapel Hill. "It's a pretty good
indicator because it's the same number of
people coming in the store. Our sales of
alcohol are down."
Gallagher attributes much of the
decline to North Carolina's Safe Roads
Act, which raised the drinking age and
established stiffer penalties for drunk
driving.
No. decision for a month
Garrow not sure of future plans
By JANET OLSON
Staff Writer
David J. Garrow, assistant political
science professor at UNC, said Monday
he would not decide for at least a month
whether he will sue the University for de
nying his reappointment.
Garrow said he would leave the deci
sion to his attorneys, who represent
Williams & Connolly, a Washington
based firm. Williams & Connolly became
involved in his case, Garrow said, when
Washington American Civil Liberties
Union lawyers brought it to the firm's at
tention. When the UNC Board of Governors
last Friday turned down his. tenure re
quest, Garrow lost his appeal at the
highest level in the UNC system. But Gar
row said he was not surprised at the BOG
decision.
The BOG review can be labeled a ra
tional basis test under which one must
prove an action to be irrational in order
to achieve judicial reversal, Garrow said.
The review process was not to make a
judgment on the fairness of the tenure
denial, he said, but to look for some
available basis of support for the deci
sions made in his case over the past year.
According to a panel report to the
BOG committee on personnel and tenure,
the basic question in Garrow's appeal to
the BOG was whether he had failed to
prove a violation of University code in his
appeal last year to the UNC Faculty
Hearings Committee.
The report said the UNC Board of
Patricia Wallace, chairperson of the
CGC Rules and Judiciary Committee,
said she is proposing a bill in Wednesday
night's meeting of that committee which
would set up a task force to examine the
Student Constitution, the CGC By-Laws,
the Treasury Laws, and the. Elections
Laws. She said part of the impetus behind
her bill is the centralization of certain
powers. -
"It appears the Finance Committee
Chairperson and the Student Body
Treasurer have quite a bit of power," she
said.
See MONEY on page 6
"The proper procedure was for the
constitution to be approved by the R&J
Committee and the entire Council. They
did receive the $22,000 loan without the
constitution being approved.
"As chairperson of the R&J Commit
tee, I take full blame for that," he said.
Holley said it was not an intentional
oversight, but the constitution simply got
lost in the shuffle.
"The constitution got buried among
' other things in the R&J Committee at the
time. We just neglected by mistake to
take care of the matter," Holley said.
Fred Baker, treasurer for STV, said he
was not concerned about the constitution
or the loan.
"I don't believe it's in danger," Baker
said. "As soon as the constitution is ap
proved, the loan will go through. I guess
for all intents and purposes it . wasn't
perfectly legal. I don't really think it's a
big deal. It was an honest mistake, and
we're doing everything we can to operate
within the guidelines of the CGC."
John Wilson, co-chairman of STV, ex
pressed concern over the chance of the
loan being canceled.
"I'm frustrated as hell," he said. "If
we don't get our equipment this week
we'll miss the (Carolina) Symposium."
Wilson said a special meeting of the
CGC to discuss nd hopefully pass the
STV constitution has been set for Friday
at 3:30 p.m. He said if discussion was
kept to a minimum, the constitution
could be approved by 4 p.m. and STV
could pick up its money before the Stu
dent Activities Fund Office closed at 5
p.m.
"We could have our equipment Friday
afternoon," he said.
. Wholesale distributors of alcoholic
beverages are facing a different market as
well.
"The increase in the drinking age has
had an effect on our sales," said Stuart
McAfee, the manager for Harris Incor
porated, a Durham beer distributor.
"Everyone is more conscious of drinking
in moderation." McAfee added that the
decrease in alcohol consumption in
Chapel Hill will probably not be as great
as the nationwide trend.
The alcoholic beverage industry is ac-

Trustees last year found "Dr. Garrow
had failed to prove the existence of im
permissible reasons for the nonreappoint
ment decision."
The report continued, "The Trustees
found from an examination of the record
evidence that there was credible and sub
stantial evidence upon which the commit
tee could have based its conclusion. From
our review of the record, we reach the
same conclusion."
Garrow said the stakes in the case were
against him because he held the entire
burden of proving his allegation that Uni
versity code was violated in his tenure
denial.
He said the code listed three impermis
sible reasons to deny tenure: discrimina
tion based on race, sex, nationality or
religion; violation of one's freedom of
speech; and personal malice. He attemp
ted to prove in his appeal to the Faculty
Hearing Committee that the tenure denial
was based on personal malice and on his
exercise of constitutionally-protected
rights of free speech.
The BOG panel report said, "The
(Faculty Hearings Committee) found that
the evidence presented by Dr. Garrow did
not sustain his charges."
Garrow denied comment on what he
planned to do if he did not pursue, the
case. Within the next month, he said he
would decide whether to undertake a pro
ject on the grass roots impact of the civil
rights movement on the rural south over
the past 25 years, focusing on Albany,
Ga. Another possibility, Garrow said,
would be to complete a book on John
Edgar Hoover in the FBI.
